Fly me to Cincinnati

Delta Air Lines believes enough people will be asking for flights from San Antonio to Cincinnati or conversely from Cincinnati to San Antonio that it is reinstating non-stop service between the two cities May 3.

The airline discontinued that link between the cities last May as the economy continued weakening but has decided to add a single, round-trip flight from Cincinnati to San Antonio after the business community in Ohio said it is needed, a Delta spokesman said. A non-stop flight from Austin to Cincinnati will be restored in June as well, the spokesman said.

Cincinnati will become the 31st city with a non-stop link to San Antonio once the expansion is implemented. City Aviation Director Frank R. Miller said “we are grateful for Delta’s commitment and long-term presence in San Antonio.”
